EDITORS COMMENTS
This Okimono, or Japanese decorative ceramic figure, depicts a dog with a ruffled collar and a playful puppy from the 19th century. The intricately detailed sculpture is made of porcelain with a white glaze underglaze in brown. The dog's body is adorned with a beautifully textured ruffled collar, adding an elegant touch to the piece. The puppy, with its pleading expression and outstretched paw, adds a sense of warmth and charm to the composition. Originating from Japan, this Okimono is a fine example of the Hirado Ware tradition, which flourished during the 19th century. The technique involves the use of white porcelain with underglaze decoration, creating a striking contrast between the pure white background and the intricate brown designs. The dog and puppy motif is a popular one in Japanese art, symbolizing loyalty, companionship, and good fortune. This Okimono would have been a cherished ornament in a Japanese household, serving both as a decorative piece and a symbol of the deep bond between humans and their canine companions. This image, captured in a studio setting, offers a close-up view of the exquisite details of the Okimono. The texture of the ruffled collar, the intricacy of the puppy's fur, and the lifelike expression of the dogs all come to the forefront, revealing the masterful craftsmanship of the unknown artist. Currently, this Okimono is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
